Beauty of Geology

Imagine this structure is subsurface, a vertical and horizontal well will be drilled through it, and your manager asked you to prepare to do a near-wellbore structural analysis on each well. What logging suite would you recommend? Send your suggestions to ndokwuchidi@gmail.com

Meandering River

A river that flows in a distinct channel which follows a winding, hence meandering path. Parts of a meandering channel are the line following the deepest point, thalweg, the sandy deposits on the inside of the bend, point bar, and the isolated oxbow lake, caused by the cut-off of a meander loop. The meander loop migrates depositing the point bar, which make up the reservoirs. This is culled from IPE HWU Petroleum Geoscience manual.
